Main topics

Modern-day uses of Vacuum Casting include making engine blocks, jet engines, consumer electronics, and even architectural structures. Due to its versatility, the Rapid Prototyping industry uses Vacuum Casting to manufacture all types of products. For example, it is widely used in the Automotive industry due to its ability to produce parts that require complex geometries at low cost.

At ARRK North America, we have worked with different industries looking for better ways to develop prototypes and components with the highest quality available. Once companies realized the casting benefits, they are able to make their business grow. But how is vacuum casting important with reference to rapid tooling? Let’s discuss this further.

Rapid Prototyping Manufacturing

Rapid Prototyping makes prototypes from digitally designed models using a computer-aided design (CAD) program. This way, designers can easily turn their concepts into physical models with the help of advanced technology. Engineers can evaluate how these parts work together and if they meet specifications before investing thousands of dollars in the final production, saving time, money, and effort.

In this sense, Vacuum Casting is one of the most efficient processes for Rapid Tooling, since it’s possible to have a fast production without making a large investment, allowing the possibility to make design changes that can be applied in no time.

Why Is Vacuum Casting so Popular?

Rapid prototyping involves using computer-aided design (CAD) software to create models of objects before actually building them. These CAD designs are often created using:

Once the model is complete, these processes allow us to produce physical replicas of the original CAD file.

With Vacuum Casting prototyping projects, companies can reduce their production times without diminishing quality or attention to detail. In addition, the high-strength properties of the castings allow them to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures. Vacuum Casting also reduces cycle times because the molds don’t have to cool down after each shot.

Also, the silicone master models used in the Vacuum Casting process not only provide a more affordable option but flexibility during the whole process due to their low viscosity, high flexibility, ease of processing, and excellent chemical resistance. Because of these qualities, at ARRK North America, we can easily apply our expertise to create parts with excellent results. We also can add the finishing and soft goods features to the final product.
